Take advantage of this advertising / sponsorship opportunity and be part of an international bid to combat the environmental pollution and economical impact of cigarette butt littering.
Introducing an environmentally friendly airtight personal / portable smoker's accessory which is designed NOT as disposable but a reusable keepsake so the affect on landfill sites is virtually non-existent. It is estimated that several billion cigarette butts are littered worldwide every year. That's billions of cigarettes flicked, one at a time onto our sidewalks, beaches, nature trails, gardens, and other public places every single day.
Cigarettes are the most littered item in the world today since indoor smoking bans came into practice. UK National Campaign: See what actions are being taken in your area to tackle this problem. Above is a perfect example of advertising space available on both sides of a unit. Composed of cellulose acetate, a form of plastic, cigarette butts can persist in the environment as long as 11 years (British American Tobacco). Other research suggests as long as 15 years, similar to other forms of plastic. | Cigarette litter is a very costly problem for any government -- annually, they are spending tens-hundreds of millions of tax payer’s money picking up and disposing of litter across the country! Visual aids used to educate motorists in particular to the harmful effects of their carelessness are easy but proven to be non-effective. ButtLess offers what we consider to be a step in the right direction to cigarette litter prevention.
ButtLess ashtrays are designed of a hardened plastic outer shell with an aluminium inner lining and heat resistant rubber seal. Cigarette butts also present very dangerous and sometimes fatal threats to wildlife. They have been found in the stomachs of fish, birds, domestic animals and marine creatures which mistake them for food.
Countries around the world are seeing the negative impact brought about by this very compounding issue. Take note because it won't go away by itself. It is time for us all to take a good look at what we are doing to our environment.
IT IS STILL LITTER!
